Back from Reno
I probably will be up and running by this afternoon with new posts and comments on all the blogs belonging to my genea-friends.
And, lastly, the Etta James concert I attended Saturday evening was sublime! I had front row tickets (not sure how I managed that . . .) and for a woman turning 70 later this month, she did quite a show! Sadly, whenever I would mention her name to anyone under 30, they'd say "Etta who?" Her hit song "At Last" from 1961 has to be one of the classics. This hit must have been played at so many weddings as a first-dance song . . .

Welcome back, Thomas!
I saw Etta James about 10 years ago when she performed at "A La Carte, A La Park" in San Francisco. She can still belt them out, can't she!

LOL! Thomas, it appears that you lost the green suit in Reno! Did the fashion police get you or did you just make one bet too many!!!

Gee, you're looking so young - the new year agrees with you. Or, is it a new facial cream?
Just wanted to say that I saw Etta James last year; she performed at the Tulalip Reservation here in WA with B.B.King. That was a double-header I was very glad to have not missed. Wow!

Chery - I saw BB King, also in Reno, about two years ago just after his 80th birthday. I thought it was a great show - especially since he walked on that stage unassisted, sat and played for over an hour, and then made it a point to get up from that chair and walk off by himself.
I am jealous that you got to see both BB and Etta in the same show!!! At some point, although I don't know how it relates to genealogy, I will need to work in a post about my other recent shows including George Jones, Steve Lawrence and Edyie Gourmet, Ann Margaret and Johnny Mathis. My next show next month: Wanda Sikes!

Mrs. Carl Willard was seriously injured at her home on North Main when a coal stove exploded.
Mr. Willard and their son, Carl Willard Jr., were at the barn milking when the accident occurred.
According to reports, Mrs. Willard had lighted the stove, which had been formerly used as a laundry stove but was used as a heating stove and had new connections. It was believed that water had collected in some parts of the connections, causing the explosion.

Ta Da! New Website for October 2011
Here it is, the new look for My Ghoul Friday.
There's still some details to add here and there, but overall I'm pleased with the site's organization (and I hope you'll be happier with it too, and be able to find things more easily).
The only sad sacrifice that had to be made were the comments from the past 4 years. I had no way to import them here (I spent hours resubmitting all the comments people left on the "About" page over the years), and had to make the decision to let them go. *sigh*
So if you're wondering what to get me for a website-warming gift, I have room for new comments ;)
And if you run into any very strange behaviours (bugs), let me know.
Now I can finally get back to working on Halloween items!
I like what you've done with
I like what you've done with the place ... very neat & clean.
It's alive! Alive!
Congrats on the new release! The organization does feel improved and your landing page feed appears to have so much more to share than the previous design. I'm certainly compelled to click through and reinvestigate the archives for posts I've missed.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of the old comments. They were a great record of the support you've received. But given the new projects ahead, I'm sure you'll restock your comments cellar in no time at all! Cheers!

Luc Barthelet, CEO of Tirnua, Inc. and former senior vice president at Electronic Arts and general manager for Maxis during the development of The Sims video games, is a longtime Mathematica user who launched Mathematica-Users, a website that combines the power of wiki websites and webMathematica. Built almost entirely in Mathematica, it takes advantage of Barthelet's new Wiki-webMathematica technology, which lets users freely edit and add to the site.
Q: What are your goals for this site?
A: My main goal is to have as many users as possible join me in developing it. I want them to interact and work together on Mathematica, using this site as a supplement to other resources like MathGroup. The site's for everyone, from people who have just heard about Mathematica to power users to the Wolfram developers themselves, some of whom have already contributed. You can properly display notebooks, see all the code—even the wiki itself is implemented in Mathematica—and learn from it or use it as a starting point for your own projects.
Q: You said you implemented the entire wiki in Mathematica. How is this possible?
A: Well, all but three lines of code. The rest is in Mathematica, purely based on the fundamental webMathematica package. I started by running MediaWiki on the website under Apache and brought up a webMathematica site in parallel under Tomcat. I connected to the MySQL database using DatabaseLink and ODBC. Processing text from the database into HTML was then very easy using just a few RegularExpression commands.
When faced with trying to display the notebook (.nb) format in a regular wiki, I realized it was actually easier and more interesting to rewrite the wiki in Mathematica. It is a language I use every day, and I would rather invest further in understanding it better than try to learn a new language like PHP.
Q: What is the potential for this new Wiki-webMathematica technology?
A: Really, I just want to show new users that there is an active community that will help them learn Mathematica faster. Books take a while to come out, while a website can be updated in hours or days. That immediacy gives us the chance to learn and develop faster than ever before.

Smart Grid - "Enabler of the New Energy Economy"
Today's Grid -- not so Smart Smart People Say......
THE SMART GRID CAN DELIVER!! Graphic: U.S. DOE
April 27, 2009
by Craig Severance
Over the last couple decades we have seen a revolution in communications with the Internet, digital cell phones, GPS, YouTube, and a host of applications the digital era has enabled.
However, your electric utility still has to count on customers calling in to let them know about power outages, and still has to send meter readers to know how much you have used each month.
As an electric customer you are equally in the dark. You have no idea how much your refrigerator or air conditioner consumes, or what would be the most effective way to cut your electric bill. If you use power at night when it costs the utility far less to generate, you don't get a discount because your meter has no clock. All you or your utility know is the total kWh's you consumed each month -- long after the fact, when it is too late to do anything about it.
Because customers receive no price signals that consuming electricity at peak times is very expensive, utilities are forced to build new power plants, just to have enough capacity available for a few dozen hours per year of peak demand. All utility customers now pay this huge cost as part of average rates.
The need to use renewable sources of power is also a major problem for today's electricity grid. One of the largest and cheapest renewable power sources -- wind energy -- produces electricity only when the wind blows. The windiest locations are also hundreds of miles away from large cities, where the power is needed most. Bringing power from these remote locations, and finding ways to store it for use when needed, are challenges to expanding renewable's share of electricity production.
Change is Coming. This is all about to change, spurred by the push to use more renewable energy and implement energy efficiencies, and with help from billions in the Economic Stimulus package. Utilities are now poised to begin a massive upgrade of electric meters and the electricity transmission and distribution grid, with a number of technologies collectively referred to as the "Smart Grid". While this upgrade is expected to cost billions of dollars to implement nationwide, it will save even more.
Smart Meters. The heart of the new Smart Grid will be "Smart Meters" that establish 2-way communication between the utility and the customer. Because the utility has very different costs to generate power at different times, everybody will save if electric usage can be cut during the highest-cost times. The utility will transmit different rates/kWh at different times of the day or week -- information the customer can use to take advantage of the cheapest rates.
The Smart Meter will keep track of usage at these different times and tally up a bill, for automatic billing without meter readers. Smart Meters will also tell the utility when power has been lost at that location, so the utility will know immediately when & where a power outage occurs.
This type of meter has been available for many years, but installations have until recently been mainly limited to small pilot projects. In mass production, the Smart Meters are expected to cost under $200 each, which should translate into a monthly charge of less than $2 on customer bills. The benefits to all utility customers -- and opportunites for each individual customer to save -- should far exceed this small charge.
Smart meters -- even with no change by customers -- will save general utility operating costs for meter reading, and help utilities track operations much more efficiently. However, these savings are not enough to justify the expense of replacing every electric meter in the country. Much larger savings will come from how customers respond to the information about kWh usage and Time of Use Pricing that Smart Meters enable.
Customer Master Energy Controllers. Located inside the building, your Energy Controller will show information about your usage, and allow you to set up automatic cost-saving responses to electric rates.
Whereas now you have to wait till your monthly bill arrives to know your electric use, the new Controller will be able to show your monthly usage as it happens. Many families and businesses may decide to cut electric usage or shift it to low-cost times of use if they know their monthly bill is going over budget. (If only my cell phone company provided automatic warnings on my teen daughter's minutes!)
The Controller will show current electric rates, so you know when would be the best time of day to use the cheapest rates, and when to try to cut use because of higher rates.
Many Controllers will be incorporated with programmable thermostats, that you can set to operate at different temperatures at different times of the day, and/or to respond to high rates. For instance, your controller might ask if you want to set your air conditioner at 78 degrees instead of 75 degrees during high-cost times of the day. The Controller would then automatically implement that change without having to monitor rates yourself.
Master Energy Controllers will also work with new programmable appliances. To save money on your electric bill, you could automatically adjust electric usage of those appliances to minimize use when electric rates are high. For instance, I don't care what time of day my freezer runs most, so long as it keeps my food frozen.
Plug In Electric Vehicles. One of the best uses of Smart Meters and Master Energy Controllers will be to coordinate the charging of plug in electric vehicles (EV's).
When millions of us get home from work on a hot summer afternoon and plug in our EV's to charge overnight, the extra spike in demand could severely stress the utility and even cause brownouts. However, if you don't care what time of night your car is charged, you could have the Energy Controller wait until lower rates are available, usually in the middle of the night. (Much better than setting your alarm to wake you up at 1 a.m. to go plug in the car.)
Some energy planners dream of a day when the substantial battery capacity of your EV could be used both ways -- not only to charge the car, but to feed back power to the electric grid when the utility is willing to pay you more for it. For instance, if your utility was willing to pay you 25 cents/kWh for power from your car battery on a hot summer afternoon, which you got by charging at only 10 cents/kWh at night, would you take this offer?
Before you answer, consider that your EV battery has a set life of several thousand charging cycles before it would need to be replaced. How likely are you to sell the utility some of those "charging cycles"? My belief is the average EV driver will want to use their Master Controller to find the cheapest times to charge their vehicles, but won't opt to sell battery-stored power back to the utility because it would shorten their car's battery life. However, if the EV battery was so good that it had significantly more charging cycles than a normal driver would ever use, this dream of "grid-tied" EV's may eventually come to pass.
Customer's Own Power Sources. Another great use of the Master Energy Controller will be to optimize use of your own electricity generated on site.
A good example is your solar photovoltaic (PV) system. Without a programmable thermostat, on a hot summer day your air conditioner is likely to run the most from about 2:00 PM to about 6:30 PM. However, this is not when your PV system is generating its maximum solar output.
If you want to avoid purchasing electricity from the utility on a hot summer day, your Master Controller could set your air conditioner to drop the building down to 72 degrees from 11 am - 3 pm (Daylight Savings Time), when your PV panels are generating their highest output. Then, after 3 pm when the solar panels' output is dropping, you could back off the air conditioning and allow the temperature to gradually rise upwards to 78 degrees -- "coasting" on the coolness built up from your own power generation.
This pattern -- most beneficial for you the customer -- is also best for the utility, as you would be avoiding using power exactly when most other customers are demanding peak power from the utility.
An added benefit from increased numbers of customers generating their own power will be decreased line losses and distribution line costs for the utility. Whenever power is generated on-site, there are no line losses and a decreased demand on the utility's transmission and distribution network. These savings will help lower electricity bills for all the utility's customers.
Storing Solar and Wind Energy. A major problem with utilities using more than a small percentage of electricity from variable power sources such as solar PV panels and wind turbines is the inability to match renewable power generation with the demand for power.
Simply put, the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow. When these sources are available, they are now used by feeding their power into the grid and reducing generation from load-following power plants. However, relying on variable sources for more than about 20% of total power will typically require that a utility must be able to store excess electricity for later use. Since renewables will eventually need to supply 100% of our power, we need the Smart Grid to be able to do this.
We know how to store energy, but the cost of doing so has until now been prohibitive except in specialized applications, or where a unique resource such as a hydroelectric dam was available.
Large-scale energy storage systems of a centralized nature include Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), whereby excess power is used to compress air at high pressures into caverns. When power is later needed, the compressed air is released and heated using a moderate amount of natural gas, and run through a turbine to generate power.
Another centralized energy storage system is pumped-water hydroelectric. Often used with an existing hydroelectric dam, pumped-storage systems pump water uphill to the dam's upper reservoir during periods of off-peak power or excess electricity generation from renewables. When power is needed, water is simply run through the dam's generators. While hydroelectric dams are few and far between, a variation concept idea by Riverbank Power would drill new very deep caverns underneath just about any river or body of water, which would fill up (generating power) when demand was high, and be pumped out using excess or cheaper power during off-peak periods.
Another energy storage method with wide possible use lies in new battery technologies now being implemented to stabilize grids, as these can be used in a distributed fashion, at the substation level. This is particularly important in areas where customers are installing distributed power generation such as PV systems. Unlike CAES or pumped hydro, battery systems can be used anywhere, without a special geological resource such as a cavern or body of water.
Advances in battery technology, together with the attractiveness of renewable sources, have now progressed to the point where utility-scale battery storage is now feasible. Companies such as Xtreme Power and BPL Global have developed utility-scale storage systems that allow a utility to store surplus power for later use, level off loads, and make use of renewables. These technologies allow the utility to reduce or ultimately eliminate the need for "Peaking Power Plants" with their high costs.
While Xtreme Power quotes costs running from about 2 to 9 cents/kWh of electricity output from storage using its technology, these costs can pay for themselves as they enable a more efficient grid operation, and access to zero-fuel-cost, zero-greenhouse-gas renewable energy sources. When compared with new nuclear power's costs of from 25 to 30 cents/kWh, a new solar or wind farm can provide power at a lower overall cost per kWh, even if some fraction of its kWh's need to be cycled through energy storage.
Transmission Lines From Renewable Resources. The wind blows just about all the time in some parts of the United States, such as the Great Plains and offshore on the Continental Shelf. Similarly, the sun shines just about all the time in places like the Nevada desert.
We are not going to encourage everyone to move to Fargo, N.D. or Tonopah, NV to take advantage of these abundant renewable power resources. The nation needs to expand its transmission grids to carry large amounts of power from remote places to the power-hungry large metropolitan areas where most electricity is consumed.
The final piece of the Smart Grid, therefore, is a national electricity grid that for the first time will allow significant amounts of power to be transmitted from one region of the country to another.
Beyond simply connecting, such a large Smart Grid will also allow for averaging of weather effects. Over a large geographic area, for instance, the wind will almost always be blowing strongly somewhere. More demand centers would also be connected, so that during periods of peak production from renewables there will be more places to utilize the power immediately without the need for storage.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is now processing applications from several large new "transmission superhighway" projects (e.g. the "Green Power Express") whose purpose is to bring wind energy from wind-rich states to major load centers. FERC and the Interior Department have also now published new guidelines for wind, wave, & ocean current developments on the Outer Continental Shelves.
Global Warming Benefits of Smart Grid. Because the Smart Grid enables customers to reduce demand, enables utilities to use their more-efficient generators, and enables a far greater percentage of renewable power sources to be used, the Smart Grid is seen as the key enabler of solutions to reduce global warming.
In his study entitled "How Green is the Smart Grid?" published in the April 2009 edition of Electricity Journal (subscrptn req'd.), Ryan Hledik,Associate with the Brattle Group, estimated that implementation of all the Smart Grid technologies (as spelled out above) could achieve by 2030:
This is a big change from Business as Usual.
Bottom Line for Electric Customers. No one is promising electricity rates will go down overall, but many customers will have new opportunities to save by using electricity at the lowest cost times. This is particularly true for customers who have their own solar PV systems, who tend to feed electricity into the grid during the day and draw most of their electricity from the grid during off-peak hours. It will also be far easier to know when your electric bill is going over your budget and take action before it is too late.
"This is not just a utility problem, it's also a consumer opportunity... We're not looking for ways to increase rates so customers can pay...but actually looking for ways customers can save money." -- Audrey Zibelman, Pres. & CEO, Viridity Energy, speaking at Chadbourne & Parke Smart Grid forum April 22, 2009
If Smart Grid is not implemented, rates will rise far faster than most electric customers can tolerate. Very expensive new power plants may continue to be needed if electric consumption continues to rise unabated. Peaking power plants would continue to be needed, perhaps even more so as renewables are brought into the mix. Plug-in Electric Vehicles are needed to solve our oil problem, but their use would likely be discouraged by utilities because of the potential of millions of customers plugging in their cars all at the same time leading to power brownouts. Many forms of renewable power would be limited to a small role in electric generation because there would be no way to use the renewable electricity in large amounts, or to bring it to where it is needed. Overall, electric customers would continue to pay increasing rates, for dirty power.
With Smart Grid technologies implemented, however, a much greener electric grid with more opportunities for customers to save will become available.
Which would you rather have -- the Smart Grid, or the Not-So-Smart Grid?

Can you really write a book on America's Greatest New Cooks and not mention Alex Stupak of Empellón? After all, it takes a great mind to move from avant-garde pastry to idiosyncratic Mexican cuisine in one successful fell swoop (even if Stupak insists it was a natural transition).
Stupak's cuisine takes all of the multitudinous flavors of Mexico and intensifies them further; a perfect example is his take on chorizo and potato tacos. Instead of sticking with spice-laden red chorizo, he chooses to embrace its green vegetal cousin, building parsely-laden grassy flavor to pair with roasted fingerling potatoes. To bring out even more of the earthy flavor, he adds kale to the mix. A crumble of queso fresco adds a punch of brightness to finish assembled the tacos.
Why I picked this recipe: Homemade chorizo and potatoes eaten inside a tortilla is always a good idea. Add some kale (healthy!) and some Alex Stupak-genius (inspiring!) and it's an even greater one.
What worked: Everything, from the chorizo-making process to the final taco assembly, worked like a dream and tasted like one too.
What didn't: Nothing.
Suggested tweaks: If you're looking for a spicy chorizo, this isn't your recipe. That said, it wouldn't be wrong to add a charred jalapeno or two into the mix.
Get the Recipe!

Overview of Solid Phase Synthesized Carbon Nano Tube; Revealing of the Regional Affects
K.C. Nguyen, K.C. Nguyen, D.V. Nguyen, T.N.M. Anh, N.N. Thy, T.H. Phat, T.L. Hieu
Saigon Hi Tech Park, VN
Keywords: solid phase synthetic process, carbon nano tube, tube control agent
Abstract:The most recent carbon nano tube (CNT) products has been made by catalytic growth process in a CVD reactor system . The optimized process utilizes the gas phase carbon sources which is fed into reaction chamber as an admix of several gas vapors including metal catalyst, hydrogen carrier, N2 providing unoxidizing environment, and water vapor,etc Even though, the gas phase always exhibits very fast reaction rate and yields non uniform tubes . Reducing the reaction gas flow rate shows improvement of the uniformity but also reduce production throughput . These are remaining issues for the catalytic growth process with gas phase reaction . Recent years, we developed a new solid phase process of CNT, which shows some advantages over the conventional catalytic growth processes in term of uniformity with reasonable production throughput and the capability of providing well controlled tube shape in various format . The optimized solid precursor for the solid phase process is composed of solid state carbon source, catalyst and additives forming tube (tube control agent ;TCA) . In this process, it must require a reasonably good compatibility between three above mentioned components due to their chemistry and physical process of mixing them prior to the combustion . Particularly, TCA is selected from specific chemicals having CN functionality effectively linking carbon sources with catalyst . Among three components of the solid precursor, the catalyst content seems to affect tube diameter while the chemistry of carbon source seems to affect tube length . It is also interesting to discover that the sub gas additives can also increase significantly the tube diameter up to 600nm . These giant tube can be arranged into a uniform tube array useful for nano filtration of water, blood . Recently, we also found natural resources from tropical area in Viet Nam can successfully form tube products such as rubber tree latex, coffee bean, cedar wood, jetropha seed etc, Each ethnic feature also requires different combination of TCA and catalyst, revealing the capability of discovering new tube shapes such as twisting tube or straight tube, short tube (a few hundred nm long), Y shape tube for various kinds of applications in nano composite, AFM tip, diagnostic etc,

My "cute-as-its-buttons Shirt"
Added Jun 24, 2011
by ajtak7171
Vienna, Austria
Well wow, I needed that! I had a couple projects now on which I felt a bit disappointed with myself afterwards. It was just little things in the execution that left me somewhat underwhelmed (I always wanted to use that word!). It's not surprising, if you start making your own patterns, somehow you have to improvise here and there, which is exactly where precision gets lost.
I improvised and made this shirt up top to bottom and still managed to keep my execution really clean. On top of that, I used my serger successfully in lots of places. There is hope! :-)
This top is again part of my long big project: a ten piece fall/winter/spring travel set. I am almost finished now, just in time for summer, har har.
If you'd like to read more about it, your visit over at my blog would be most welcome. Of Dreams and Seams

I like it very much. It's a piece you have to look at again and again. And still it's not over… overdone in any way. It's just very much one piece still. :) And I know EXACTLY what you mean about making your own patterns and having to improvise. That's the worst part of the whole thing I find. But this is a great job! I also like the back-part!

Thank you! Yes, improvising is the best AND worst part about making up patterns, isn't it? :-)

I love stories where people have pieced together an entire garment out of scraps :-)
Like the pleats (both in the body and in the yoke), but I'm not sure I'd wear this one as part of a winter (or even spring) travel set, myself! Having said that, it looks surprisingly good with the woollen trousers, so maybe if you keep your bottom half very very warm…? ;)

Yes, you are right, this is definitely for the very spring part of the set. But as you say, with the wool trousers and the wool jacket, hey, it could work even on colder days. Especially when you sit next to a fireplace :-)

About four months ago I deleted my Pinterest account because of issues I had with their sharing policy. Now, every time I see a mention of Pinterest I think perhaps I was a bit hasty. Well, today I tried to get back into my account, and after requesting a password reset, there it is! All my followers and followings, all the photos I uploaded myself, all my boards are there. I had deleted all the pins I'd borrowed from others because of my concerns.
I admit now that I can't remember precisely what those concerns were, and when I read the current Terms and Conditions I can't see anything to make me delete my account. Perhaps they've changed? Or perhaps I'm less picky.
So, for better or worse, I'm back on Pinterest. Yet another social network to take up too much time!

Unwrapping Edmund Wilson
The Forties
The Portable Edmund Wilson
The journals and papers which make up The Forties are of great interest—coming from Edmund Wilson, it would be very odd if they were not—but taken as a whole the book is not really in the same class as The Twenties and The Thirties. For one thing, as Leon Edel makes clear in his excellent introduction, it lacks the advantage of Wilson's own preliminary editing, and of the retrospective passages that he would have added if he had lived. For another, the material that Mr. Edel has had to work on—the more intimate and informal material, at least—is relatively skimpy. During the first half of the 1940s, while he was still married to Mary McCarthy, Wilson scarcely kept a personal diary at all. He slipped back into the habit from 1946 onward, but on a much less substantial scale than before; and as a result, the greater part of The Forties is taken up with first drafts of material that has already appeared elsewhere, often in very similar form—principally in Europe Without Baedeker and in his accounts of the Zuñi Indians and his visit to Haiti, the "red" and "black" sections of Red, Black, Blond and Olive.
The book does naturally provide some sense of the course that Wilson's life took during the decade, in particular of the happiness which his fourth and final marriage brought him. But there are some very obvious gaps and omissions as well. To stick to literary matters, for instance, there is next to nothing about his reviewing for The New Yorker, little of note about Memoirs of Hecate Country, not a single mention of The Shock of Recognition—although that very active anthology, so much more than a mere compilation, was not only the most solid piece of critical work that Wilson published in the mid-1940s, but must surely have played a major part in the shift of interests which led eventually to Patriotic Gore. And if The Forties is only to a very limited degree a chronicle of Edmund Wilson's 1940s, still less can it pretend to be a chronicle of the 1940s. For much of its length—in marked contrast, here, with The Thirties—politics and public affairs scarcely impinge.
As far as the new material goes, then, the book is a collection of fragments. A few of them are rather boring—I must admit that by the end I found all the neat, conscientious descriptions of pond life and wildlife beginning to pall—and some of them no longer have much point, but for the most part they bear the unmistakable stamp of Wilson's vigorous and invigorating personality. Again and again, whether he is describing a journey out west or the death of an old friend, or mulling over subjects as far apart as aviation (its constricting effect on our view of the world) and early nineteenth-century prose (its peculiarly "viscous" quality), he succeeds brilliantly in hitting the nail on the head and pinning down the elusive shade of feeling. Even the casual observations of…

Posts Taggedmusic recommendation
Finding new music you like is hard. If you're not completely enmeshed in a community that happens to perfectly match your taste, you're sure to be missing stuff you'd like, and only Top 40 pop is reasonably represented in the mainstream.
That's probably why big names like Amazon, Apple, Last.fm, Pandora, and even the top record labels invest heavily in tools that suggest songs and artists you might like, based on databases they piece together from your listening or buying preferences.
Walknote brings its own recommendation algorithm to the table, coupling it with your iTunes music library and an attractive interface. It's unlikely to surface many obscure gems by artists you haven't heard of before, but between its genre-sorted recommended mixes and tight integration with YouTube, Last.fm, Amazon, and the iTunes Music Store, Walknote brings just enough to the table to be useful.

A new study on public debt presented at the recent University of Chicago Booth School of Business monetary policy forum in New York has highlighted "tipping point dynamics" that can occur to countries with high debt loads.
The study entitled, Crunch Time: Fiscal Crises and the Role of Monetary Policy, identifies debt equivalent to 80 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) as the critical point where an economy becomes highly vulnerable to disruption. Focusing on the recent experience of advanced economies, the authors note that "a country can quickly move from the group without problems to the group that faces nearly insurmountable problems if its debt rises significantly above 80% of GDP."
As they pass the tipping point, countries are likely to encounter problems such as higher sovereign interest rates, the crowding out of private investment, and even limits on the flexibility of government to respond to future economic or national security crises.
The severity of negative consequences of passing the debt tipping point is ultimately determined by the policy environment. Policies that favor economic freedom enhance economic resilience and create and facilitate an economic and business environment that reduces the risks of debt. As analyzed by Ambassador Terry Miller and economist J. D. Foster in The Heritage Foundation's 2012 Index of Economic Freedom:
The permanent increase in the ratio of public debt to GDP…is prima facie evidence of policy failure. The high levels of public debt accrued in many countries thus reflect years of bad public financial management and the cumulative impact of poor policy choices. Such poor policy choices are highly likely to have restrained economic freedom as well…
Historical data from the Index of Economic Freedom show a clear negative relationship between the accumulation of debt and economic freedom. In general, countries with lower levels of public debt as a percentage of GDP tend to enjoy high levels of economic freedom…. There is an even stronger negative relationship between debt-to-GDP ratios and economic freedom for advanced economies than there is for developing economies.
It is no coincidence that America's debt burden has surged as its economic freedom has declined to its lowest level since 2000. The remedy is straightforward: Now is the time to reaffirm the conservative principles of limited government, free enterprise, and rule of law, and to reinforce our traditional commitment to freedom and opportunity.
Redoubling our efforts to change America's current course begins right here.

Gospel Choir
The UR Gospel Choir was established under the aegis of Campus Ministries in September 1976, in an attempt to offer a musical outlet for the school's African-American students. From 1977–1979, the choir was sponsored by the Student Activities Committee. The UR Gospel Choir became an ensemble under the music department in 1979.
In February 1977, the Choir was the featured guest artist at Cornell University's first Annual Festival of Gospel. In April 1977, the UR Gospel Choir presented Langston Hughes's, "Tambourines To Glory", under the dramatic and musical direction of Rev. Alvin Parris III.
On February 24–25, 1978, the choir in cooperation with the Association of Black Drama and the Arts (ABDA) performed the highly successful Broadway Musical, "Purlie!" in the Interfaith Chapel. Over these 27 years, the choir has presented concerts in Providence University (Rhode Island), SUNY Binghamton, Brockport State, and in many local churches and colleges in the greater-Rochester community.
In the years 1981–1983, the choir performed frequently in the Rochester City Schools as a part of the Young Audiences Program of Arts for Greater Rochester. The choir has also presented on-campus concerts with such featured greats as Fred Hammond and Commissioned, the Donnie McClurken Singers, Chronicles, and many others.
The choir began in 1977 with 8 students, with the organizational assistance of alumni such as C. Leonard Jones, Rose Holmes, Diane Harris, Sheila Brown, and others. Since that time, the choir has maintained a consistent membership of 30–45 students.

(AP) No. 10 FSU puts on show, drubs Nevada 62-7
By MARK LONG
AP Sports Writer
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
Jameis Winston accounted for three touchdowns, Florida State's four tailbacks all scored and the No. 10 Seminoles routed Nevada 62-7 Saturday.
Florida State (2-0) looked just as good in its home opener as it did to start the season 12 days ago.
The Seminoles thumped Pitt 41-13 on the road, a game in which Winston grabbed headlines with a nearly flawless performance.
He shared the spotlight Saturday with his running backs.
Devonta Freeman ran nine times for 109 yards and a touchdown. James Wilder Jr. added 45 yards and a score.
Karlos Williams may have been the most impressive of the bunch. The former safety, who moved to offense after the opener, ran eight times for 110 yards and a score. His 65-yard scamper made it 31-7 early in the third quarter.
Winston, who threw two TD passes in the first half, scored on a 10-yard run in the third. That was his final play of the day.
Winston watched the final 20 minutes from the sideline.
He had a front-row seat for fourth-string tailback Ryan Green, who ended up rushing five times for 78 yards and a score.
The Seminoles were a little out of rhythm early and even trailed 7-3 in the second quarter.
Nevada (1-2) turned Winston's first career interception into a touchdown _ backup Devin Combs found Brandon Wimberly in the corner of the end zone _ but the Seminoles responded in a big way.
They scored the next 59 points, including four touchdowns on their first four possessions in the third. None of the drives lasted more than two minutes, and the first two took a combined 33 seconds off the clock.
Freeman went 60 yards on the first play of the second half _ Wilder dominated a defender for the key block _ and then scored from 8 yards. Williams got on the field next, taking his first offensive touch and outrunning defenders for a 65-yard score.
The Seminoles were just getting started, too.
Wilder found the end zone on the next drive, and then Winston capped the offensive barrage with a nifty, naked bootleg. He faked out all 11 defenders and maybe even a few cameramen before coasting across the goal line.
He did even more damage with his arm.
Winston completed 15 of 18 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. He dropped a perfectly thrown ball into Kenny Shaw's hands for a 24-yard score in the second quarter. His 24-yarder to Rashad Greene was even prettier, another impeccable pass into a tight spot.
After his lone mistake, Winston completed his final 13 passes for 184 yards and two scores.
Not bad for a freshman.
Sure, Nevada and Pitt are a long ways from Clemson and Miami, but Winston's poise and presence _ on the road and at home _ are good signs for a team with high hopes this season.
The Wolf Pack gave up 617 yards, 30 fewer than they did at UCLA in the season opener.
Nevada's bigger problem was on offense, where quarterback Cody Fajardo didn't even play because of a sprained knee. Combs got the start and completed 6 of 9 passes for 37 yards. He was limping late in the first half and then was replaced to start the third.
Tyler Stewart played the second half, completing 7 of 15 passes for 49 yards.

Trioceros laterispinis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Trioceros laterispinis (Loveridge, 1932)
Common Name(s):
Chamaeleo laterispinis (Loveridge, 1932)
Chamaeleo laterispinis ssp. brookesiaeformis Böhme, 1982
Chamaeleon laterispinis Loveridge, 1932
|Taxonomic Notes:
|There is some uncertainty regarding the taxonomic status of the presumed Southern Highlands population of this species. It was originally considered a sub-species (Trioceros laterispinis brookesiaformis) but was later synonymised (Böhme 1987). There is only one specimen from the Southern Highlands, and its actual collection locality (Kibau Iyayi) is not certain. The existence of this population significantly affects this species' extent of occurrence and both its occurrence in this area and taxonomic status needs to be verified.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(iii) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Tolley, K. & Menegon, M.
|Bowles, P.
|Anderson, C.V. & Tilbury, C.
|Tolley, K. & Jenkins, R.K.B.
Trioceros laterispinis is listed as Endangered on the basis that this species has an area of occupancy of 538 km2, and within this, the species occurs as a severely fragmented population. There is a continuing decline in the quality of its forest habitat due to degradation of forest, and ongoing declines in area of occupancy are inferred due to encroachment.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to the Udzungwa Mountains where it is found in both forest fragments and degraded forest. Localities include Kigogo Forest Reserve and Mufindi area (Tilbury 2010, Menegon and Salvidio 2005), suggesting the species has a small area of occupancy. An additional specimen from a poorly-described locality understood to be "Kibau Iyayi", collected in 1929 (see Böhme 1982), cannot be assigned with confidence as this name refers to several places within this general region. This may represent either a locality within the known range, or could indicate that the species once had a larger distribution outside the Udzungwas, as far west as the Makambako Gap, a low-elevation area in the Njombe region of the Southern Highlands. Because this latter record is in doubt, it is not considered a valid locality record at this time.

|This species is apparently rare (Tilbury 2010). It is not common in villages and other agricultural lands. The extent of forest within its distribution is becoming smaller due to human activities, and it is presumed that chameleon subpopulations are declining. The lizard's existing forest habitat is already heavily fragmented within a matrix of largely unsuitable agricultural land, and becoming more fragmented as a result of ongoing agricultural expansion, and the population is considered to be severely fragmented.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species inhabits Afrotemperate forest in the Udzungwa Mountains, but can be sometimes found in disturbed areas adjacent to forests. In the higher elevations of the Udzungwa Scarp Forest Reserve, it has been found in the cultivated areas surrounding the western edge of the forest, and also from a mosaic of farmland and very small forest fragments between villages of Bomalang'ombe and N'ingula. It does not however tolerate fully transformed landscapes, with records from disturbed habitats invariably being from sites close to forest edges. In natural habitats this species' patterning, resembling lichen, renders it highly cryptic. It is likely that this reflects a specialization for habitats with hanging lichen, a feature typical of primary forest.
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Use and Trade:
With the exception of 2002 where no quota was issued, annual CITES export quotas for T. laterispinis between 2000 and 2013 ranged from 10-40 (23 average) captive born individuals per year from Tanzania (CITES 2013). Between 1977 and 2011 (2012 and 2013 trade data are incomplete or unavailable) a total of 74 live individuals were exported from Tanzania for the pet trade (total of all commercial exports), of which 10 were reported as wild collected (UNEP-WCMC 2013). In 1985 and 1986, 26 individuals were exported, and all remaining commercial exports occurred between 2004 and 2009, during which time 2-14 individuals were exported per year (UNEP-WCMC 2013). No other trade is reported, although illegal trade and/or harvest may occur on occasion.
|Major Threat(s):
|This chameleon inhabits Afrotemperate forest fragments in the Udzungwa Mountains. The area is under transformation, resource extraction and encroachment by the local population, and by commercial and small scale tea plantations. This species is thought to be a habitat specialist with a very limited ability to tolerate habitat modification, and has not been recorded far from natural vegetation.
|Conservation Actions:
|This species is known from Kigogo and Udzungwa Scarp Forest Reserves, the latter a proposed Nature Reserve that will afford its forest habitat a higher degree of protection than presently exists.

The American Cancer Society urges local companies to take up the fight against cancer in their communities by becoming sponsors of the 19th Annual American Cancer Relay For Life of Dawson County.
"Central Nebraska has so much to be thankful for: first, your businesses that support our thriving communities and second, an opportunity to participate in this community experience," said Meredith Chesley, corporate sponsor chairperson, of Lexington. "Last year businesses and corporate sponsors made Dawson County's Relay for Life possible and all the more meaningful by raising over $78,000!"
Letters were mailed out to Dawson County businesses earlier this month and monetary donations are starting to come in, Chesley said. This year's corporate sponsor goal is $10,000.
The business community in Dawson County consistently supports Relay For Life in many ways including in-kind donations of services and products for the event or for team fundraisers.
Businesses also may conduct fundraisers and donate the proceeds to Relay For Life or employees may build a team and join the fun on July 12 at Lake Helen in Gothenburg where this year's Relay will be held.
To find out how to build a team for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Dawson County, call Pam Ackerman at 308-324-2230 or visit www.RelayForLife.org/dawsoncone

A few months ago I enrolled in a 200 hour HVAC maintenance and repair course, and received my EPA Universal Certiication. Unfortunately, there was not much hands experience, but alot of reading about refrigeration, AC electrical components, charging & evacuation, etc... The only hands-on we received was putting together fan circuits and troubleshooting them. Oh yeah we volunteered our services to troubleshoot and repair some old PTAC units at a motel. Well anyway I got hooked. I am planning on enrolling in a HVAC associates degree program at a local community college, and also independently study for a NATE Heat pump certification. What I would like to do is start my own full-time HVAC maintenance and repair business after I receive my associates. I will be 57 years old, with 2 years experience as a "freelance" HVAC tech. I was wondering if I am will able to meet the demands of repairing split units and in some cases crawling under homes to get to a discharge line. Also, can I realistically compete as a middle ages guy with no real track record. Am I being realistic at all?
What is your opinion about my plan?
What are some of the obstacles I might encounter?
What are some of the advantages?

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Retro Recipe: Couscous Salad with Zucchini, Lemon and Ricotta Salata
This past weekend, when I was looking for something to serve with striped bass in a tomato, saffron and grappa sauce, I made a new couscous that Merrill and I had picked up at Union Market in Brooklyn. Les Moulins Mahjoub is hand-rolled and sun-dried in Tunisia and comes in a spiffy jar. When we bought it, I remember thinking that we'd been seduced by packaging. But the couscous inside did not disappoint – in fact, it made me realize I'd never had really good couscous before. The individual beads are irregularly shaped and larger than most packaged couscous, and they remain firm after steaming. The best part is the couscous's flavor, which is nutty, even a little flinty. The obvious comparison is to expensive dried pasta, which I like, but which I can't always justify buying when I measure it against a great, reasonably-priced brand like de Cecco. Having cooked with Les Moulins Mahjoub, I can't justify buying the cheap stuff. A 1.1-pound jar is $9 at Cube Marketplace.
Couscous Salad with Zucchini, Lemon and Ricotta Salata
- 2 cups cooked couscous
- 1 cup minced zucchini
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped basil
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/ 4 cup olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly-ground black pepper
- 1/ 3 cup crumbled ricotta salata
In a mixing bowl, fold together the couscous, zucchini, shallot, basil and lemon zest. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and stir to mix. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the ricotta salata.
Serves 4.

I came across the above death certificate, purely by accident or maybe it was just good genealogical sleuthing. I was playing around on pilot.FamilySearch.org one day when I came across death information that seemed to indicate my great grandfather, Cornelius Pierce, had another sibling that I wasn't aware of (that darn missing 1890 census).
So, how did I start piecing this together?
By playing around. Even though I know that during the time period in which my 2nd Great grandparents lived there were no vital records, I still plug their names into various data searches. This is how I discovered the death certificate for my Great Grand Aunt, Nunna Pierce Sims, on Georgia Virtual Vault, which helped in confirming my 2nd Great Grandparents and their family.
Anyway, when I did this on pilot FamilySearch, amongst the results returned was death information for a Jesse Pierce, whose father was Jasper Pierce and whose mother was Jane (Maiden Name Unknown). This caused me to immediately take notice as I've only come across one other Jasper and Jane combination, my Jasper and Jane, who might fit as this Jesse's parents.
I already knew that my 2nd Great Grandparents had had at least one other child, Hester, after the 1880 census. The 1900 census shows in the household of Matthew Sims, his wife (Great Grand Aunt Nunna), their children, and sister-in-law (Hester Pierce born abt. Apr 1880).
This Jesse Pierce was about 39 when he died which means he was born abt. 1889. In 1889, both of my 2nd Great Grandparents were young enough to have had a few more children after the enumeration of the 1880 census. In 1889, Grandpa Jasper would have been abt 39 and Grandma Jane would have been abt. 45.
If my still as yet unproven theory about Jesse M. Pierce being my 2nd Great Grandparents slave owner is correct, it's quite possible that Jesse was named after him.
After determining that it's conceivable that this Jesse Pierce could possibly be another Great Grand Uncle, I then tried to find other documentation that could possibly link him to my Pierce Ancestors.
Since he died in Atlanta, I thought chances were good that he possibly had an obituary. Obituaries are typically wonderful sources for determining other family members and relationships.
However, as you can see, such was not the case with the obituary for Jesse. Through Ancestry.com, I was able to locate an obituary for Jesse Pierce but it contains the barest of details (name, date of death, funeral and burial information)
I then turned to Georgia Virtual Vault to get an actual copy of his death certificate (shown above), hoping that it would include specifics as far as city and county of birth but this offered up another disappointment. As you can see, only the state of birth is provided. The informant was Clementine Pierce, Jesse's wife.
Lastly, I tried tracing Jesse back through the census records.
Since he died in 1928, the first census I tried to find him on was the 1920 census. I was able to locate Jesse and Clementine in Atlanta
The 1910 census, Atlanta, shows a recently married Jesse and Clementine.
I wasn't able to locate a Jesse Pierce in 1900 Atlanta who met the description. So naturally, I checked the White Plains, GA area. Not in White Plains but in another area of Greene County, GA, I came across a 16-year old Jesse Pierce, who was enumerated in the household of Bob Hardeman where he is listed as nephew.
What Next?
• Determine if the funeral home, R. C. Tompkins, is still in existence and if so contact them to see if they have any further information on Jesse Pierce.
• Contact Southview Cemetery, where Jesse Pierce is interred, to determine if they might have records with regard to Jesse.
• Continue tracking of Bob Hardeman through the census records to determine what if any connection(s) may exist between him and my ancestors.

Best and Worst of Band Photos
We're hitting the tour circuit with Yahoo! On the Road, featuring big talent and up-and-coming acts. But when it comes to photos, no band is safe from an unflattering publicity image. From beards of the '70s to the big hair of the '80s, bands have struck a pose in a photo studio, an alleyway, or the middle of a forest. Have a look at some famous (and not-so-famous) rock stars who have posed for iconic and sometimes silly shots. -- By Paul A. Rosales, Yahoo! Music

The art of celebration
This time of year offers a smorgasbord of choices for sports fans. The summer sports, like baseball, are finishing, football is slightly into its season, and basketball is starting to play exhibition games.
Occasionally, I enjoy watching a little assault and battery on the football field, and those tall guys jamming basketballs into hoops can be entertaining.
While flipping back and forth between football, baseball and basketball, I noticed that the teams all had something in common - the celebration. Whenever someone on a football team scored a touchdown, the players would get together at the end of the field and jump up and down. At the end of the basketball and baseball games, the winning teams did the same thing.
The reality is, they look like a bunch of schoolgirls who regularly partake in such activities for no good reason. The only thing that was missing was the squealing and giggling.
The athletes also do the jumping up and down routine as a pre-game warm up. I suppose it gets the blood flowing and the leg muscles working.
Some athletes, like golfers for instance, are somewhat reserved about exhibiting excessive celebratory enthusiasm after their victories. Golfers are just wound a little too tight to publicly display that kind of emotion. It would not be dignified by their standards.
Nonetheless, "excessive" is the operative word about the celebrations that occur after an athlete or team experiences a moment of victory. It seems that some uptight offi cials have deemed it necessary to curb this kind of behavior by declaring it to be unsportsmanlike and "excessive."
Personally, I thought Billy White Shoes Johnson was funny when he did the funky chicken after scoring a touchdown for the Atlanta Falcons. And, who could not be amused by the choreographed TD celebration dance staged by the Oakland Raiders in their heyday? It was all in good fun, and certainly better than watching a bunch of 300-pound behemoths acting like a giggling group of schoolgirls jumping up and down.
The powers that be made their point by imposing heavy penalties on any athlete who had the effrontery to be too happy after accomplishing a major score or victory in front of their enthusiastic fans. Players risk paying five-figure fines along with penalties, and even suspensions, if they are viewed as partaking in excessive celebration in the official's eyes.
This week, on Monday night football, I must admit I was delighted when Cleveland Brown quarterback Derek Anderson threw one of his two touchdown passes to wide receiver Brayton Edwards.
During pre-game introductions, Edwards announced his team's return to the NFL's prime-time weekday slot by performing a cartwheel and back flip. He then made the Giants look foolish by helping his team with their 35-14 win over the Super Bowl champs.
The officials couldn't fault Edwards for excessive celebration because the game had not yet started.
Maybe the officiating body that makes the decisions to suppress athletes for having "too much fun" would prefer that they take the corporate high road and follow in the footsteps of companies like insurance company, American International Group (AIG), Inc.
The company spent $440,000 on a posh California retreat for its executives to celebrate being bailed out of financial ruin by the $85 billion loan from the government to avoid bankruptcy.
Their celebration came complete with spa treatments, banquets and golf outings, according to investigators.
The resort tab included $23,380 worth of spa treatments for AIG employees.
I would say that celebration was slightly "over the top," maybe even "a bit excessive." Congressman Henry Waxman (D-California) said there was evidence that the former CEO of AIG, Martin Sullivan, changed the bonus schedule in order to insure that top executives would continue making multi-million dollar salaries, even as their company went broke.
"Mr. Sullivan and the other top executives should have had their bonuses slashed due to poor performance," said Waxman.
According to ABC television, Sullivan received a $15 million golden parachute payment when he was let go last June.
In my less than humble opinion, that is excessive celebration at taxpayers expense. Now, does anybody out there actually believe that one of those executives will actually give their bonus back? I would put my money on, "That ain't gonna happen."
I guess inequitable standards for "excessive celebration" is just another one of those things we have to accept when we live in a system we can't understand.

The Little Rascals- Halloween 2011
Added May 3, 2012
by Ali Daniels
Minneapolis, Min...
I realize it is now May, but I just thought I'd share some of my previous projects with you guys. After much debating and changing our minds, my boyfriend and I decided to go as Alfalfa and Darla from the Little Rascals for Halloween. I picked up the Kwik Sew pattern 3682, some yellow/peach flowery fabric and some muslin and went to work. I made my muslin first and it was very simple to put together (even though the lady in the store had her doubts that I would be able to do it…). I didn't end up making the dress out of the fabric I had intended, mostly because I didn't have time to, but also because I loved the way the muslin turned out. I made a sash, hair bow and a matching bowtie for my boyfriend Alex and we hit the town in style (well, we hit up my boss's party in style, anyway…)
Also, I apologize for all the lovey-ness in the photos…I just like him a lot :)

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- White Plains native and Harvey School graduate Steve Masiello was placed on administrative leave from his position as Manhattan College's men's basketball coach after it was discovered he never obtained the undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky that he claimed to have, according to the New York Daily News.
The validity of his degree came under question during Masiello's vetting process to become the new men's basketball coach at the University of South Florida. since South Florida couldn't substantiate Masiello's degree, the $1million job offer to coach the Bulls was rescinded and his position with the Jaspers is now in jeopardy, the Daily News reported.
Manhattan College released a statement saying Masiello would be placed on administrative leave until the college completed a thorough review process.

I want to share this passage with all searchers.
I had this passage sent to me by another searcher who in turn had it sent to her by another relation. I feel it is very appropriate to those doing family search. Enjoy it.
Subject: The Chosen
We are the chosen. In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them breathe life again. To tell the family story and to feel that some how they know and approve. The doing of genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts, but instead, is breathing life into all who have gone before.
We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called to this activity by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us "Tell our story" so we do. And in finding them we somehow find ourselves.
It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who I am and why I do the things I do. It goes to pride in what my ancestors were able to accomplish and how they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to a deeper understanding of what they did for us as a nation. It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us nation. We have equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give the families birth and to nurture them. Without them we would not exist. And so we love each one as far back as we can reach.
With love and caring we describe each fact of their existence because we are the sum and consequence of who they all were. So as a scribe called, I tell the story of my forebears. It is for the called in the next generation to carry the link and take my place in this long line of storytellers.
